DuoDERM® Dressings Support Gentle Wound Management
DuoDERM® Dressings
- Nothing grabs your attention like something ´on the edge´
- It might or might not make the transition into an unfavorable situation.
- Wound dressings manage this situation by being applied at the right point in time to increase the chances of successful healing.
On contact with a moist wound surface, DuoDERM® Dressings form a gel that creates a moist wound healing environment.
- An outer film provides a waterproof barrier over the dressing.
- The foam layer is designed to provide both thermal and mechanical protection.
- A honeycomb matrix of hydrocolloid particles absorbs exudate to form a soft, moist gel.
- The dressings keep nerve endings moist, which helps to provide relief from discomfort.1,2
- DuoDERM® Dressings can be worn continuously for up to seven days unless they are uncomfortable, there is leakage or there are clinical signs of infection.
